Even though sterling silver is the most durable of all silver jewelry, it can tarnish when exposed to heat, air, or moisture. However, there are some precautions you can take to help prolong this.
The first step in maintaining your jewelry is to keep it dry. Remember to take off your silver jewelry before taking a shower or swimming. The sweat and grease from your hands can also cause corrosion over time. You should also avoid getting lotions or serums on your jewelry.
You can also store your items in closed storage spaces so they aren't overly exposed to air. Purchase anti-tarnish bags to help keep them enclosed.
